Currently, Tegan lives in Vancouver and Sara lives in Montreal.When they were competing in Garage Warz, the duo was known as Sara and Tegan because when contacted at the last minute and asked for a name Tegan just said Well we're just Sara and Tegan and they were registered with their names in that order. Their first album, Under Feet Like Ours, was initially released under the name Sara and Tegan copies are now a sought-after commodity among their fans.
